What is Remote Therapeutic Monitoring?

In 2022, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) introduced a new category of digital health services – Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM).

RTM is designed for the management of patients using medical devices that collect therapeutic, non-physiologic data. Data around indicators such as therapy/medication adherence, therapy/medication response, and pain level can be collected and billed under the RTM codes.

Non-physiologic measures can allow a provider to determine how well a patient is responding to a medication, what social or environmental factors affect the patient’s musculoskeletal health status, and what changes could be made to improve the patient’s health.

Pain Management in mind

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about remote therapeutic monitoring.

What is remote therapeutic monitoring?
Plus

Remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM) is the management of patients using self-reported therapeutic data, otherwise known as non-physiological data, outside of a provider’s organization.

What are examples of remote therapeutic monitoring?
Plus

Examples of remote therapeutic monitoring involve the initial setup and patient education on the use of equipment that allow patients to self-report on respiratory system status, musculoskeletal system status, therapy adherence, and therapy response.

What devices can be used for remote therapeutic monitoring?
Plus

Equipment used for remote therapeutic monitoring must monitor either the respiratory or musculoskeletal system. Common devices used in RTM programs include but are not limited to: respiratory inhalers for asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and medical devices used for physical and occupational therapy.

What are the requirements for remote therapeutic monitoring?
Plus

Similar to other care management services, remote therapeutic monitoring requires a minimum of 20 minutes of care coordination, with at least one interactive communication with the patient or caregiver via phone call or video conferencing.

Who qualifies for remote therapeutic monitoring?
Plus

Remote therapeutic monitoring services are available to patients of eligible qualified healthcare professionals, which include physicians, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and nurse practitioners.

What are the benefits of remote therapeutic monitoring?
Plus

Remote therapeutic monitoring benefits patients by increasing access to therapeutic care outside of their doctor’s office. RTM also benefits practices by widening the scope of non-physiological data that can be self-reported to receive reimbursement for coordinated care management.

What is the difference between RTM and RPM?
Plus

Compared to RPM, RTM encompasses a broader set of use cases and application of remote patient care. The primary difference between RTM and RPM is the collection of non-physiological or therapeutic data, which can be self-reported by patients around indicators, such as pain levels and medication adherence.

Can RTM and RPM be billed together?
Plus

No. Because RTM and RPM services have unique requirements on the categorization of data collected, they cannot be billed for the same patient in the same month. Additionally, if multiple medical devices are used, they can be billed only by one practitioner, only once per patient, per 30-day period.

What role does physical therapy play in remote therapeutic monitoring?
Plus

Unlike RPM, non-Evaluation and Management (E/M) billing practitioners can bill for RTM services, which includes physical therapists and operational therapists. RTM services must be provided under direct supervision when not directly performed by eligible physicians, nurse practitioners, or therapists.

What is the average reimbursement for RTM?
Plus

For 500 enrolled patients, Medsien’s RTM solution can generate up to $850,000 in additional annual revenue. With our accurate, automated billing and coding, we achieve an average monthly reimbursement rate of 98%. Reach out to our team of RTM experts to get started.

Does Medicare cover remote therapeutic monitoring services?
Plus

Yes, as long as a patient’s chronic condition is eligible for remote therapeutic monitoring, Medicare does reimburse RTM services. The five CPT codes used to report RTM are for service initiation (98975), data transmission (98976), data analysis and interpretation (98977) and treatment management services (98980 & 98981). And new for 2024, RHCs and FQHCs providing the above RTM services bill HCPCS code G0511. Refer to CMS.org for the latest CPT code updates.
